About Course

This course is designed for the audiences who are interested to learn the about in-depth of drilling engineering related to oil and gas operations. The course content is designed for audiences who are in diploma or undergraduate level and early career professionals in oil and gas industry, and interested in learning drilling engineering in details. The course covers an pump factor, HP and efficiency calculations that are needed for designing the pump for circulating drilling mud, with in-depth treatment of casing, rotary drilling bit, drill string and bottom-hole assembly design/evaluation. The course covers different calculations related to mud pump displacement, pump factor, mud circulation and hoisting system. The student will also gain good understanding of factors affecting rate of penetration, drill-off test and drilling response test. Various drilling techniques such as directional drilling, and wellbore surveying techniques are also introduced in addition to well design for safety and efficiency. Other topics such as introduction to drilling costs and authorisation for expenditure (AFE) are discussed. In addition, simple workout examples related to field operations are highlighted too. The course contains 04 modules (Module I – IV) and each module contains 6 lectures. Students are strongly advised to complete the course title “Basics of Drilling Engineering I” by Prof. M. Enamul Hossain at NSRIC Platform to understand this course content.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
CLO1: Become familiar with different calculations related to mud pump displacement, pump factor, mud circulation and hoisting system.
CLO2: Understand the drilling bit tooth wearing, design, selections and evaluation.
CLO3: Understand the design, selection and evaluation of drillstring and Bottom-hole assembly (BHA).
CLO4: Understand the factors affecting rate of penetration (ROP) and become acquainted with ROP optimization techniques (i.e., drill-off test and drilling response test).
CLO5: Ability to understand formation pore and fracture pressure calculations using different established models to design the safe drilling operations.
CLO6: Ability to understand the manufacturing of casing, casing rig side operations, handling procedure (e.g., running procedures, landing procedures, casing design and selection criteria.
CL07: Become familiar with the basic concepts of directional drilling, importance, classification, and planning of a directional well path.
CLO8: Become familiar and in-depth understanding with the various drilling systems and well design techniques.
CL09: Ability to understand the wellbore surveying techniques and in-depth calculations for better design of the well trajectory.
CL10: Ability to understand different drilling costs and economic and accordingly develop a drilling plan based on economic analysis i.e. authorization for expenditure (AEF)
CL11: Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet the desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental and safety.
CL12: Ability to use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practices.
